I have 1002 entries in my film list atm. Being that i'm a huge fan of everything horror, my collection includes all of the major horror franchises and some lesser known. If there's a sequel, I probably have it. I have:

Bob, we need to do something about your signature image. When I have a look at the site while at work, I just can't stay focused... tough to concentrate once I've caught a glimpse of smokin' hot Mary Jane.

I've got somewhere around 600 DVDs. If I had to go by my prized DVDs, I really wouldn't know where to start. I guess I'd start off with my Halloween DVDs which would total about 45 with the rarest being the Halloween 2 disc limited edition with the lenticular cover. The unofficial rare one would be the 2 disc Halloween 6 P-Cut I worked on.

Your a sick sick man. Either that, or a millionaire. I think here it would cost something like $192 per season, plus tax. That's something like $6000 for all the shows.

They ought to be $40 per season

I didn't spend that much on them. I bought most them used at Hastings, each costing somewhere between $50-$60. I only bought the last two seasons of DS9 new, and that was at Sam's Club costing about $80 each.

I happen to be a trekkie too, but don't need to own all the trek dvd's. I only like one franchise and that's it. Star Trek: Voyager. Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) just happens to share the same birthday as me. Cool, huh? Otherwise I do enjoy the 90's Enterprise and Deep Space Nine.

On a few of the titles it isn't really noticeable as they are pretty much the same, but for some reason Universal used new transfers on the re-issues that had a somewhat lower bit-rate, that and there are a few glitches here and there with the sound; I bought the Dracula Legacy Collection to get House of Dracula and the Creature Legacy Collection to get the Creature sequels.

Phantom of the Opera was actually re-released earlier this year around the time that the 2004 movie was released on DVD.

I open everything as soon as I get it home...but if you were to ask me if I have actually watched everything I own all the way through, I'd have to answer that I have no idea...there are probably a couple of dozen that I bought on impulse and have just never gotten around to.

Is it really that noticeable? I still have the old box set as well! I just sold off the solo titles that I had in addition. It's hard to argue against getting $80 for Dracula or even more ridiculous $65 for the Mummy double features.

Edit: Why haven't they released Phantom of the Opera yet? I think it remains the only one from the box set that is unreleased.

I'm glad that I am not the only with a ridiculous collection. How many of yours remain still sealed?

I think Matt is the only one with a collection like mine. It's hard for me to tell exactly how many titles I have because I haven't fixed DVD Profile to track box sets correctly, but I would say that I have 1500+ titles.

Unlike Matt, I knew that the Universal Horrors were going to be re-released and I sold mine off at ridiculous prices!

I have more than I really should and my most treasured ones are any that are out-of-print and/or fairly rare, such as a few of the Criterion discs that I have (John Woo's Hard Boiled for instance) and some of the discs released in the early years of the format that are nowhere to be found these days, unless, like Flash Gordon (1980) (which should be coming out in an S.E. later this year) they get a re-release in some fashion. My most treasured, until last summer when they were re-issued, were the Universal Monster DVDs that were released several years ago including all of the double feature discs.

I have about 400 DVD's. Hmmmm, I suppose I have a few that are my most treasured. The Walt Disney Treasures and other out of print stuff ranks up there. Then of course there are all the promo DVD's and not for sale stuff that the public cant generally buy that I have.
